Star Crossed

Here are some of the photos from Hillsongs! Most of them were taken outside cos there was no flash photography allowed during the performances.

Ok they were on the hill calling out random names to see if anybody from the crowd responded.

I'm quite unhappy the tagboard was deleted without prior warning. I thought they'd have sent an email when the tagboard was inactive. Gah.

Unhappy about many other things.

1. Firstly missing out on church camp, and another extra guard duty on 14th June, a saturday of all days.

2. Secondly I've been feeling that all my other friends have gone ahead of me. They're all walking their paths much faster than me while I stagnate. Examples: Shu getting her driving license, all the gals accepting their unis etc etc. I've got a year and 6 months to wait. Which is incredibly painful.

3. Lastly a bit angry that future doctors are showing signs of irresponsibility and incapability. Examples: One of my absent minded platoon mates (who loses a lot of his stuff) got accepted while I didn't. (How is he gonna take care of the patients responsibly?) Other people who get accepted choose not to lead a healthy lifestyle. (Lead by example right?) Others joke about what they're gonna do in future. They aren't serious or passionate about it. Maybe for interviews they were but I don't see anything that makes them deserving of a place in NUS.

What I said above isn't like me. It scares me when those thoughts appear in my head. And thats the worst part of it all. God help me...

Got my HBDI personality test results. I'm a left brainer of course. A > B > C > D. Strongest in analytical skills. 101 points in quadrant A, the Rational Quadrant. 80 points in quadrant B, the safekeeping quadrant. 60 points in quadrant C, the feeling quadrant. And 53 points in quadrant D, the experimental quadrant.

It says when I'm faced with stress or adversity, I'll tend to withdraw to think, while appealing to my emotional self and logic at the same time. However I'll try not to take any risks, calculated or uncalculated. Yup thats about it.

Finished S-Cry-Ed.

Basically its about a special natural disaster called the great upheaval that caused a land called the Lost Ground to appear. After that disaster, 5% of people on the Lost Ground have the special ability to deconstruct and reconstruct matter into other forms, and this power was named Alter.

60 years after that a small area of the Lost ground was urbanised by people from the mainland, and a military organisation called HOLD was formed for the sake of reformation of the lost ground. However many native Alter users did not like to be controlled by the mainland and hence rebelled against the system. HOLD, in turn gathered their own set of Alter users, forming a task force called HOLY.

This anime is mainly about the fight between Kazuma, a native born alter user wanting to protect the lost ground by ensuring its independence from the mainland, and Ryuho, an alter user and strongest member of HOLY. They clash multiple times cos they just don't like each other.

However, there is a greater evil behind the scenes manipulating everyone. Can the both of them join forces despite their differences and defeat the evil for the sake of those living on the Lost Ground?

To find out, watch the anime. Just go to youtube and look for the user ehpsport. He has all the episodes. Yup.

Now I'm watching Basilisk, which is based on Japanese history and the battle between Koga and Iga clans for supremacy, pride, as well as politics. The sad thing about this anime is that there are 2 pairs of star crossed lovers that can only be together in death. Sad huh.

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
